Tsui Hark is Li Bai

It was broadcast on TV a few years ago, and when Tsui Hark's reasoning was seen in the front, he saw the ghost market, and he gave up washing and sleeping. It feels the same as watching "Wu Xia" - the first half of the fusion is good, but it is not enough to last the whole game, maybe I learned new ideas, but they have not yet melted into the blood.

This restart, I have a bottom line in my heart, even if the common cold and stupid female character like Shangguan Jinger comes out and babbles, I can watch it. The shades of blue, blue and brick red are the style of Dunhuang frescoes. Let me show off. The frescoes in the Dunhuang caves that are closer to the roof are less elegant and human touch, and the colors are bright like children's paintings. They are not beautiful (of course, it is obvious that the Tang and Song Dynasties are more beautiful than the Southern and Northern Dynasties), but those that have been polished over time, showing a kind of indifference. Color shows beauty. Xu Haofeng said that the Dunhuang frescoes were created by time and artists together, and what he said was true. Tsui Hark used in this film, this style was rare 10 years ago. (Someone told me yesterday that "The Heroes of Heaven" is the color of Meitu Xiuxiu.) The

surprise turned out to be Wu Zetian's small felt hat and big shawl. Immediately I got the spirits - this is Dee Renjie vs Miss Marple! How about, come to the famous detective alliance!

Another accident is the figurines of the Chinese zodiac in front of the Wuji Temple. In 2013, I saw the 12 zodiac figurines at the Datang West Market Museum in Xi'an. Because of their cute appearance, I was deeply impressed. Only ten were unearthed in the joint tomb of husband and wife, so it is guessed that what is missing is the zodiac of the husband and wife. I saw it in the old monster movie today, and there is Shaanxi Normal University in the credits at the end of the film. I guess it may be related. Again, if I had a little more culture, I might have more fun watching old monster movies.

Crafting is on the gold wire. The plot is bizarre and out of order, and if the story is told well, it is not a big problem. It's a pity that the shaping of human nature is simple, and the transformation seems cheap. The old monster once insinuated Mao Zedong's sharpness with the invincibility of the East has also become ordinary. After entering the mainland, the lines are long-winded and the beauty of the ancient meaning is lost, which is what I am puzzled by.

Shangguan Jinger's whips and daggers are all Tsui Hark's aesthetics. After seducing Di Renjie, the arrows came from outside, the dagger hit the light, and the Shangguan's robe rolled over, so familiar. Looking at the arrows everywhere, I think that Tsui Hark is the Li Bai of the film industry, romantic, exaggerated and presumptuous.
